Care

General Maintenance: Wipe down your colocasias leaves every so often to keep dust off and to maintain their rich, beautiful colours.

Temperature: Colocasias like to keep warm, so keep them inside at temperatures between 16C-28C. Any colder and they will go dormant, too warm and they will burn.

Light: Colocasia are sensitive to direct sunlight and will burn easily. Keep them in an East facing window, or a few feet away from a West or South facing window.

Watering: Colocasia love high humidity but can’t stand their soil soggy. They are prone to root rot, so water moderately when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry. To increase humidity, keep a tray filled with clean water and pebbles underneath the pot. Don’t let the pot stand in water.

Soil: Well-draining soil is a must for colocasia. A mixture that is organically rich will allow them to thrive.

Fertilizer: Fertilize once every 2-3 weeks with a diluted water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (April – August).
